steveyinasia Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Gotta admit, this is pretty cool stuff. They even thought of the parachute to bring it all back to Earth safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlindMagician Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I think the key word is "space", suggesting getting something up into space is the target, not just ~100 or 200m up. But, not a bad "fun" effort by a bunch of uni folks. Don't think their chosen method for thrust, the structure or control will get them to space. Add a few elastic bands.

ozyjon Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Two replies 1- i went to a rocket festival in Laos, a big rocket blew up. not a laughing matter. 2- in Europe i saw a Discovery channel program where the presenters were trying to duplicate (a smaller version) of the rocket, after many failed attempts they managed to fly one so to the above rocket scientists,, well done boys.

ttthailand Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I understand that there may be many astronauts in Thailand as many students are taking up space in schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoon Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) I think the key word is "space", suggesting getting something up into space is the target, not just ~100 or 200m up. But, not a bad "fun" effort by a bunch of uni folks. Don't think their chosen method for thrust, the structure or control will get them to space. Add a few elastic bands. I may be wrong but I think you will find that they are "farming folks"" not "uni folks". The footage is from Tambon Kut Wa in Kalasin province. About 18km East of Kuchinarai. It is, of course, Bun Bang Fai, and in Kut Wa the rockets are annular (ring) configuration. I didn't see any "conventional" types when I was there. They are truly spectacular and the sound they make has to be heard "live" to be really appreciated. I look forward to visiting it again when I hope I will be accepted as a volunteer on a launch team in order to approach more closely. Unlike other events the authorities keep the spectators at a distance from the projectiles as they are launched. The reason is that the combustion chambers of these rockets are made of steel (unlike the conventional rockets which are made of plastic water tubing) and they are thus very much more dangerous if they explode (as one would expect a +4 metre long 150mm diameter metal pipe bomb to be).
